Third video on Mini Album

Finally I have finished the third video in the series on making the mini album.
There will be at least 2 more in this series because of the limited length I can make them!

This video is focussed on adding the layers to the basic pages.

The instructions for cutting the layers to the correct size follow.

These instructions cover only the basics of adding layers to
each section of your album. The finishing touches are yours to imagine and
implement! If you wish, you can add distress ink of appropriate tones to the
top layers. It is suggested you do this before attaching to the pages!

I use glue to attach my layers as it allows for a bit of
“wiggle time” to make sure the layer is in the right place before finally
firming it down.

Note: all pieces are 4 ¾” wide to fit onto a 5” wide page.
The instructions given are for the length of each piece. It is suggested that
you cut 12” by 12” paper into strips of 4 ¾” and cut the lengths according to
the directions.

Cut: 1 piece @ 1 ¾”; 1 piece @ 2” and 1 piece @ 3⅜”

These will attach to the 3 panels on this page. Tuck the
bottom of the two smaller pieces underneath the top of the panel just below the
one you are attaching it to.

All pieces are 4 ¾” wide to fit onto a 5” wide page.

Cut: 1 piece @ 2 ½”; 1 piece @ 4 ⅛”

These two attach to the 2 panels on this page.

Cut the same pieces as for page 2 and attach.

Page 4

Cut 1 piece @ 6 ¾” and attach to the page before adding the
smaller folder piece. Measure the folder piece for the size of the top layer
and attach.

For all other pages and inserts, measure the size of the
page or insert and reduce the size by ¼” on the width and ¼” on the length.
This will allow a ⅛” margin all around the page.

Favourite Tips

If you need a brad of a particular colour and don't have one, check to see if you have some embossing powder of the colour you want . Rub embossing ink on the top of the brad, then dip it into the embossing powder then heat set it. Use tweezers or a clip peg to hold the brad while you heat it.

When you are stitching on cards, make sure you are not sewing over the top of DS tape! The needle gets gummed up and won't lock the threads underneath.

Use zip lock plastic envelopes for smaller pieces of card offcuts that accumulate when making cards. Have one envelope per colour and periodically go through and trim up so they are ready for use on another card.
